A sketch-comedy series in which Hill would often play multiple characters and satirize popular British and American performers and stars. Common themes in the show were the husband-beating wife, buxom women, and silent, high-speed chase scenes between Hill and the other characters.

In late 1970, ITV's colour technicians went on strike, causing all ITV shows made during this period (including this one) to be videotaped in black-and-white. The strike wasn't resolved until spring of 1971, causing three episodes to be made in this fashion. These episodes have not been shown in England since the 1970s and have never been shown in America. They have resurfaced in Australian syndication, however.

[Andree Melly talks to Mervyn Cruddy at the N.F.T]


Andree Melly:
I think for me, the most memorable moment in films was when you played the doctor to that sick family.


Mervyn Cruddy:
"Inherit the Wind." Yes, I remember.


Andree Melly:
Opposite Margaret Lockwood's nurse . . .


Mervyn Cruddy:
That's right. Yes, I know what you're going to say, the scene in the operating theatre.


Andree Melly:
That's the scene. You kissed her when she least expected it.


Mervyn Cruddy:
I beg your pardon?


Andree Melly:
You kissed her when she least expected it.


Mervyn Cruddy:
Oh, I thought you said 'where'.
